How to Erase Lilplay.com (PUP/Adware)

What is LilPlay.com? And how does it function?

LilPlay.com is advertised as a service that supposedly allows users to access movies, music, games, books and other content for users and is developed by Eimhir Ltd. However, this program is actually a phishing website and belongs to the category of unwanted programs which is reported to be a scam that charges its users for unsolicited services. According to researchers, it seems to be related to or created by the same crooks that created other unwanted programs such as Geeker and Tzarmedia.
If you use this program, LilPlay.com will trick you into trying out free membership but when you try to explore the contents on the website, you will be asked to create an account and enter your credit card information – when this happens to you, you must not give your credit card credentials as you will be charged with tons of subscriptions and memberships you didn’t sign up for. According to the users who got tricked by LilPlay.com, they were charged from $1 to $30 without them realizing it.
One of the main problems in using this website is that when you try to cancel your membership or get some refund from all the money that was paid for services you didn’t use, it would be impossible to do so. Some users even tried calling the number on their website which is +44-203-300-0315 or 1-302-722-4141 but they barely got any assistance at all. Therefore, the best way to go about this is to contact your bank and block money transfers from this phishing website.
How does LilPlay.com spread online?
You can get redirected to LilPlay.com when you click an ad online.
